Not long after 6th April 2019: https://lists.debian.org/debian-doc/2019/04/msg00012.html > > Somebody on an up-to-date Buster could perform Michael Biebl's bug > > reproduction test: > > In particular, someone on a machine running full-on systemd.

My 70-persistent-net.rules is SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:90:dc:a2:4d:26", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" Following Curt's suggestion I removed the relevant module and rebooted. 'ip a' shows eth0. The advice in the Release Notes > ....you should be aware that udev in buster no longer supports the mechanism > of defining their names via /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. does not accord with my experience. In the light of #919390 it seems doubtful to me that the "Migrating from legacy network interface names" section is useful. -- Brian. > > -- > The Wanderer > > The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one > persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
